A' ye wha live an' never think,

Come mourn wi' me!

Our billie's gi'en us a' a jink, fellow, the slip

An' owre the sea.

Lament him, a' ye rantin core, jovial set

Wha dearly like a random-splore; frolic

Nae mair he'll join the merry roar,

In social key;

For now he's taen anither shore,

An' owre the sea!
